A Girl Snake Catcher.
Boston Transcript.

She lives in Maiden, she is II years old
or thereabouts, and she is an ophiOlogist
that is to say, her specially is snakes.
Very often, in pleasant summer weather,
this young girl, with hands clad in high
buck gloves and armed with bottle of
chlorOfOrm, turks about the fens and
pools and thickets watching for snakes,
g. girl fair to look upon, sauntering one
might imagine, with eyes upon the ground
In maiden meditation, fancy. She is in
maiden meditation, indeed, but not fancy
free, because her fancy is bound to snakes
and she is searching intently for some
variety not yet added to her collection of
several hundred. Presently she stops;
with an eager CLEAN in her eye she crou-
ches along step Or two, her glove clad
right hand drawn back as if to clutch
some object; she springs forward toward
the ground with swift motion and then
stands erect with the body of a snake
writhing about her arm In desperate
throes. She has it by the neck and pro-
ceeds calmly to thrust it's head into the
neck of her bottle of .chloroform,
Not many days ago this young scientist
after rather desperate contest, captured
in the fells black snake SO large an6
powerful that when it wrapped itself in
the mad grasp of its body about her up
per arm it strained her cords and muscles
SO severely that she was lame fer week.
1t did not prevent her however from sal
lying forth again and when she happened
to perceive at the margin of pool big
water snake of q variety which she had
not secured for her collection she lay in
wait for it. AS the snake bounced upon
frog she pouneed upon the snake; but
the reptile was in his element, and es-
capped her. Was she to be bafHed in that
way? Not at all She managed in some
way to anchor frog upon stone at the
edge of the pool at a spot where the bank
was overhung with bushes. Then she
laid herself fat upon her face under the
bushes at the brink of the water and
there she lay in ambush for a long time,
while the snake curiously eyed the frog.
At last the snake with sudden resolution
made bold to seize the frog; but as he
did so gloved hand, swifter than his
own sinuos motion, darted from the bank
and he was a prisoner splashing the
water of the pool in his effort to escape.
The girl has one grief-she has not been
able to capture with her own hands a
rattlesnake.

asked for work as an Grand boy.

enough money to buy the shoes. Then
he presented himself before Mr.. Blank
one morning, and held out package.
II haze he shoon, SIR" he said quietly.
"Oh?' Mr.. Blank with difficulty re-
called the circumstance. "You want a

would disgrace the house,
The boy hesitated moment, and then
went out without word. Six months
passed before he returned, decently
clothed in coarse but new garments. Mr.
Blanks's interest was aroused. For the
His thin, bloodless face showed that he
had stinted himself of food for months
in order to buy these clothes. The manu-
facturer now questioned the boy closely
and found, to his regret, that he could
neither read nor write.

presented himself before Mr.. Blank.

What the word means? you favored ones who
Down beaten paths with all things smooth and
With no false note to jar amid your airs:
With no black cloud to blot your sunshine out:

No why ?" to deepen every bitter doubt.

When wealth and worlds approval grid you

To learn the fairy tasks of smiling hours.

And the full moonlight ptiless and chill
Gares ON the bare, cold path-the barren

The slow rains rot, the cruel east wind hurts,
But tn rich bloome press upward to the day.
Darling the holy bond 'twixt you and me

And learnt from her sweet lips baby

Sun out the dreary presents gathering storm,
Or face it in our deep loves royal truth,
And d fresh link from troubled hours form;
Let the world froWn or shrink, we two together
Can surely ride over wider waves than these,
Knowing the cyclone brings the cloudless

And to some haven roll the toughest seas.

The Old Silver Sheen


How fresh in my mind are the days of my sick
ness,
When tossed me in pain, all fevered and sore;
The burning, the nausea, the sinking and weak
ness,
And even the old spoon that my medicine bore.
The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
The sick-chamber spoon that my medicine
bore.
How 10th were nay fever parehed lips to receive
it,
How nauseous the stuff that it bore to my
tongue,
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught could
relieve it,
Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs it
Wrung.
The old silver spoon the medicine spoon,
How awful the stuff that it left my
tongue.
Such is the effect of nauseous, gripping med-
cnes which make the sick room memory of
horror. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
